As most readers would be aware of this post of 21 April 2015,
five months after similar orders were issued for civilians, the Ministry of
Defence had enhanced the disability and war injury elements of disabled and war
disabled defence pensioners based on the fitment of minimum of pay within the
pay-band for each rank, rather than the minimum of pay-band itself.
Though the benefits were granted from September 2012,
according to the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, the Armed
Forces Tribunal and the Delhi High Court, as upheld by the Supreme Court, the
benefits are actually to flow from January 2006. The file for extension of the
benefits from the correct date is currently pending with the Department of
Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare.
Meanwhile, the office of the Principal Controller of Defence
Accounts (Pensions) has issued the tables for implementation of the above
mentioned orders of enhancement of casualty awards and the same can be accessed and downloaded by clicking here.
Please note that this letter has NO relation with the matter related to broad-banding of disability percentage
for cases of release on completion of
terms/discharge/retirement/superannuation.

Though, by now, readers of the blog have been updated on the date of benefits having been clearly ordered as 01 Jan 06, just as for the Minimum Guaranteed Pension matter, there is very little information where the implementation status is at ground level. Is the Government planning to contest the HSC order on MGP, for instance, or has some sort of DGL been put up for approval? July 17 would appear to be a deadline set for that if the HSC order has been understood correctly.
PCDA(P) has taken about 70 days , for the circular .
MOD letter was issued on 10 April 2015.
The circular is dated 27 May 2015; put on their website on 16 June 2015.
This itself speaks volumes.
Wonder when orders for granting the benefits ( granted from 24-9-2012 )wef 1-1-2006
will be issued.
Orders for extending benefit of broadbanding the disability percentages for cases
of release/retirement on superannuation might take a real long time.
OROP implementation orders appears to be just a dream ...
